"Well done!"
Xu Chuan roared, showing no fear of the Fire Kirin's attack.
At this moment, it finally had some semblance of a peak Heavenly King realm presence!
Unlike before, when Xu Chuan fought it without any pressure!
Following that, Xu Chuan's blade technique changed, no longer as broad and sweeping as before.
The previous blade technique was only suitable for large creatures; with a single strike, the opponent wouldn't have time to react.
It could inflict immense damage!
Now, Xu Chuan's blade technique held a more bloodthirsty quality, his swings filled with killing intent.
Myriad blade energies directly met the Fire Kirin's charging claws.
They formed a wall of blade energy before him, completely blocking the Fire Kirin's assault.
Roar, roar, roar!
If ranged attacks couldn't defeat Xu Chuan, and even after shrinking its body it still couldn't, the Fire Kirin roared to the heavens, agitated.
The flames on its body intensified with its rage.
The entire Fire Kirin transformed into a ball of flame, merging into the surrounding lava.
Making it impossible to discern where its next attack would emerge from.
"You think this can defeat me?"
"You're still far from it!"
Xu Chuan said proudly.
Then, he wiped his right hand across his eyes, and both were covered by two flames, one red and one silver.
Beneath these eyes, the Fire Kirin, which had hidden in the lava to ambush Xu Chuan, was completely exposed.
The blade energy of the Suppressing Prison Demon Blade flew forth, each strike accurately landing on its body.
Puffing sounds were continuous.
The Fire Kirin's powerful body, before Xu Chuan's Suppressing Prison Demon Blade, was like tofu, easily cleaved.
In just a moment, the Fire Kirin's body was covered in crisscrossing blade marks.
And they were deeply embedded within the Fire Kirin's body.
But not a single drop of blood flowed out.
Because the blood from the wounds had been devoured by the Suppressing Prison Demon Blade.
After devouring the Fire Kirin's blood, the color of the Suppressing Prison Demon Blade's body had noticeably deepened.
It seemed that the blood of a peak Heavenly King realm expert was a great tonic for the Suppressing Prison Demon Blade.
And Xu Chuan knew that the Suppressing Prison Demon Blade would absorb blood.
However, he didn't stop it.
After all, it was a demon blade, and bloodthirsty was its instinct.
Furthermore, due to the forced bonding earlier, its spirit had been forcibly annihilated, causing its quality to decline significantly.
Now, by continuously absorbing blood, the demon blade instinctively desired to regenerate its spirit.
This was something Xu Chuan was happy to see.
The newly born spirit would not only enhance the Suppressing Prison Demon Blade's quality but would also be completely under his control.
With such a win-win situation, why would Xu Chuan refuse?
He didn't care if others called him a bloodthirsty devil for wielding a demon blade and slaughtering indiscriminately.
In this world, whoever possessed strength had the right to speak!
Moreover, in his hands, the Suppressing Prison Demon Blade only absorbed the blood of his enemies, never the innocent.
The Fire Kirin, having been struck so many times by Xu Chuan, let out mournful screams.
They were truly heart-wrenching to hear.
Its entire body also emerged from the lava.
At this moment, the Fire Kirin had lost all its previous arrogance.
Its powerful aura also showed signs of decline.
Its gaze towards Xu Chuan was filled with wariness and fear.
While healing its wounds, it stared fixedly at Xu Chuan, its eyes not moving an inch.
At this moment, it had already conceived the idea of retreating.
But upon remembering that the Divine Fire Crystal it had guarded for countless years was about to be handed over to this human before it, it was unwilling.
Its small brain could not comprehend how this human, whose cultivation was far inferior to its own, could unleash such immense power!
Completely overwhelming it, leaving it with no chance to fight back!
"It's time to end this!"
Seeing this, Xu Chuan laughed heartily. He held the blade with both hands, and a terrifying divine might surged from within him, finally gathering on the blade's edge.
Endless killing intent merged with malevolent aura, his Yang God emerged, his massive divine body exuding pressure.
His pair of divine eyes stared at the Fire Kirin, making it feel a chill to its core, extremely uncomfortable.
Sensing the threat from Xu Chuan, the Fire Kirin wanted to resist.
But it was now a fish on a chopping block, with no room to resist.
Its entire body was immobilized in this boundless sea of lava, unable to move an inch.
It could only watch as Xu Chuan's world-splitting saber strike descended upon it.
"Slash!"
Xu Chuan commanded, and the demon blade in his hand moved in response.
The Yang God behind him also produced a blood-colored long saber, the two blades echoing each other, the entire sea of lava being covered by blade light.
Even if the Fire Kirin wanted to escape, there was nowhere to hide.
Perhaps sensing its impending doom, a rare clarity appeared in the Fire Kirin's eyes.
Its gaze towards Xu Chuan was no longer filled with anger or hatred.
Instead, it was filled with resentment, fear, and a plea for mercy.
"Roar... roar..."
The Fire Kirin let out weak roars, attempting to gain a last sliver of survival.
But Xu Chuan had already given it a chance, and it had not cherished it.
Its current fate was its own doing!
Xu Chuan showed no mercy.
The two long sabers descended together.
In an instant, the void trembled, and immense tongues of flame erupted from the sea of lava.
Terrifying blade light at this moment fiercely slashed towards the Fire Kirin.
This strike was not just physical; it was a strike on the soul level!
From the moment Xu Chuan launched this strike, he had no intention of letting the Fire Kirin survive.
He intended to not only obliterate the Fire Kirin's body but also its soul, its very being!
As a spirit of fire, a special creature born from the rules of divine fire, it possessed various means of resurrection.
But in the face of Xu Chuan's strike, all its abilities had lost their efficacy.
All that awaited it was death!
Finally, the boundless blade light, like an unstoppable force, struck the Fire Kirin squarely.
"Roar!"
It let out its final roar, expressing its unwillingness and regret.
Then, its sound abruptly ceased.
Its body began to split from the top, dividing into two halves.
No blood flowed out; the Fire Kirin died just like that under Xu Chuan's saber.
In its last dying glance, it looked towards the Divine Fire Crystal behind it.
It was born from the Divine Fire Crystal and died because of it.
It could be considered a cycle of karma.
Finally, its body transformed into a rule and flew into the Divine Fire Crystal.
In an instant, the fire lotus bloomed completely, and the Divine Fire Crystal emitted a dazzling radiance.
The endless lava was rapidly absorbed by the Divine Fire Crystal.
A massive vortex appeared in the entire sea of lava.
The lava began to disappear at a visible rate.
Ultimately, the entire sea of lava was absorbed by the Divine Fire Crystal.
Xu Chuan once again stepped onto solid ground.
